Maxine’s Top Ten New Years Resolutions

Skip exercise every day instead of just three times a week.

Call one of my relatives every day. Call one a doofus, call one a bonehead, call one a jerkwood, call one a...

Go to the park more often to feed the pigeons...to the cat.

Stop eating so much high-fat fast food and eat more high-fat home cooking.

Expand my horizons with travel. In other words, use the upstairs bathroom more.

Reread all my favorite novels. And this time read the whole book, not just the steamy underlined parts.

Force myself to stop watching so much trashy TV. Rent trashy movies instead.

Teach Floyd a new trick, and remember to rotate which neighbors yard he does it in.

Clean the house more often. Once a millennium just isn’t enough.

And my Number One New Years Resolution:

Only moon people who absolutely, one hundred percent deserve it. So that’s still pretty much everybody.

Happy New Year to all my FRiends in the Canteen.

I’ll just say I’m glad 2013 is behind me . . .

Oh, and Kathy? You can have your cold weather back!

Three more hours here in the Florida Panhandle.

I will probably be asleep when 2014 arrives.

Happy New Year, FRiends!
